Street Photographer: Umberto Verdoliva

Umberto Verdoliva was a street photographer born in Treviso, Italy in 1961.  He started photography since 2006, and currently, he owns workshops with his many street photography.  In 2013, he founded "Spontanea" dedicated to street photography.  His greatest passion is the humanity surrounding him, hence the fact that he was a careful observer.  For Umberto, photography is a special way to understand humanity.  He also does it to witness the times to be a better man.

I chose this image because the skull with the cigarette in its mouth looks like it reminds some people of a guy who smoked with a corncob pipe and died.

I also chose this one because of the irony in part of the boy being covered with his umbrella and part of him getting soaked by the broken gutter.

I also chose this one because sometimes, I like to dream about flying too.
